Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, left, and Sir Richard Branson pose for photos with a replica of SpaceShipTwo, a spacecraft designed to rocket wealthy tourists into space as early as 2011, in Mojave, Calif., Monday, Dec. 7, 2009. The long-awaited glimpse of SpaceShipTwo marks the first public appearance of a commercial passenger spacecraft. The company plans to sell suborbital space rides for $200,000 a ticket, offering passengers 2½-hour flights that include about five minutes of weightlessness. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
